food IS a theme park
Disney is getting ready for our favorite festival of the year, and they just dropped some BIG news!
Food & Wine Festival
EPCOT’s Food and Wine Festival is getting closer, and we’re beyond excited. Disney is already starting to drop news — including a few returning foods that are CONFIRMED for the festival! Let’s take a look at some of the delicious returning items we’ll get to try.
If you’re heading to Disney World this summer, especially if you haven’t been in a minute, there are some new “rules” you’ll need to follow!

Summer 2025 is a time of change at Disney World. Muppet*Vision 3D closed to make way for Monsters, Inc. on June 7th, and the Rivers of America will have its final day of operation on July 6th before making way for Cars. Across the resort, two other beloved attractions are in their final months of operation, while another has returned in an all-new version. On top of that, new experiences — and new rules with them — have arrived as well. With that, here are all the NEW Disney World rules for the summer of 2025.
The EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival runs from August 28th to November 22nd and will be packed with a variety of foods to try, drinks to enjoy, and shows to see. One of our favorite activities is the Eat the Beat Concert Series, which features popular bands and singers performing at the American Garden Theater.

If you don’t want to worry about waiting in line to grab a seat at your favorite band’s concert, you can purchase a dining package, which allows you to enjoy dinner and come back for designated seating for the performance.
Anyone who travels frequently probably has a TSA horror story or two to share with you. Maybe they got stuck in an hours-long line at security. Perhaps the scanners detected something in their carry-on, prompting a mini panic attack as an agent goes through their bag. We’ve all been there — the airport is a strange and stressful world for many of us.

One of the most notoriously stressful airports is the London Heathrow Airport. Maybe you’ve heard the warnings. Maybe you’ve lived through a dramatic encounter with a TSA agent. It feels like airport security rules are constantly changing, so it’s no wonder travelers get tripped up at the airport. But during a recent visit, we had a…good experience at the infamous London Heathrow Airport. Here’s what was different — and what might be different for YOU, too!
Okay, we have some favorite snacks in Disney World, and if you’ve been hanging with us for a while, you probably know a lot of them.

Some of those favorite snacks include cinnamon rolls because…well, you just can’t beat a cinnamonny ball of dough with icing on top for breakfast…or any other part of the day. We’ve talked a lot about the Colossal Cinnamon Roll in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, as well as the Warm Cinnamon Roll from Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom. Well, a new cinnamon roll has entered the arena, and it has come out swinging!
There are really only two ways to get to Orlando, Florida: you can take a little road trip and drive straight to Disney World, or you can hop on a plane and land at the Orlando International Airport. Of course, there are a LOT of factors that go into planning a trip to Disney World, but one of the biggest things to consider is the budget.
Welcome to Disney World!

With everything that’s been going on with Magic Kingdom lately, you may have missed this subtle change!
Magic Kingdom
Disney World has been undergoing a lot of updates. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been closed for refurbishment, Astro Orbiter just reopened, and we’re a few days away from saying goodbye to Tom Sawyer Island — and this is just a FEW of the many things going on. With everything happening, we wouldn’t blame you if you missed this NEW spot — but now that you’ll know about it, you NEED to check it out!
If you can count on anything in Disney World, it’s that the weather is going to be unpredictable.
Rainy day in Magic Kingdom
Now, we don’t expect a snowstorm to pop up in the middle of July. However, you can expect super hot and humid days that will make you pray for rain…which will show up in the form of random storms pretty much any time of the day. It’s also hurricane season, though, and that means that tropical systems that form in the Atlantic often have the chance to impact Florida. Well, buckle up, because the holiday weekend could be seeing something just like that.
Let’s cut to the chase. There are things you should ALWAYS do at Disney World restaurants to make your experience better, more convenient, and possibly cheaper than expected.
It’s stunning in here.
And we’re gonna cover the TOP dining must-dos that you NEED to do TODAY, here on DFB Guide.

This seasonal event is more than just food and wine, people.
2024 Food and Wine Festival
